Safety Rules

• Ensure that at no time more than one person is working at the machine.

• Leave the key for the safety lock with the person responsible for the cutting machine.

• Power operated cutting machines must be operated only by trained and reliable personnel. Part of

the training is to become familiar with the operating instructions.

• The operati ng instructions must be accessible at any time and must be strictly observed.

• Do not reach into cutting area white the knife or the paper clamp through switching operations.

• Change knife and cutting stick only with the main switch in “off” position. For other maintenance

and repair, which requires removal of machine covers, always disconnect the plug.

• Defects in or damage to cutting machines, which affect the safety, must be repaired immediately.

Until such faults have been eliminated the cutting machine must be put out of operation.

• Annual routine inspections by specially trained service technicians are recommended for all safety

devices, particularly the electric control measures in the cutting machine. Records should be kept
of these safety inspections.

• Transportation of knives is only allowed in specially designed wooden cases supplied by your

local distributor. When inserting knife into the wooden case, ensure that the sharp edge lies flush
with the side of the case into which the holes for the secur ing screws have been drilled.

• Important – The safety rules must be strictly observed. Please make sure that you are

familiar with the operation of the paper cutter.

Installation

The entire machine is dispatched in one package, but the stand has been dismounted from the
machine.

The tool box contains:

- a set of tools for service and maintenance,

- the mounting hardware for the stand,

- the back gauge crank (#3) with a mounting screw,

- two keys for safety lock.

• Place machine (#1) on stand (#8).

• Insert the four securing bolts for the stand into provided holes and secure with nuts.

• Place paper tray (#10) into the stand (#8).

• For models IDEAL 4850, IDEAL 4850 -90, and IDEAL 5250, connect power cord with plug to a

normal single phase AC socket.

The models IDEAL 6550 and IDEAL 6550-90 must be connected to a 5-point, 3 phase current
source. If, when switched on the machine should fail to operate, then the phase sequence of the
machine does not coincide with that of the power source. To rectify this one must swap the brown
(or red) wire with a black one in the plug of the machine.

The machine is now ready to be operated.

Performance

All paper qualities and light cardboard (up to a weight of 200 g/m²) can be cut using the full
cutting height and cutting length of the machine.

4850

Cutting Length 475 mm

Cutting Height 80 mm

Table Depth 460 mm

Narrow Cut 30 mm

With the false clamp mounted on models IDEAL 6550 and IDEAL 6550-90 the cutting height is
reduced to 75 mm (3”), and the narrow cut is 50 mm (2”).

Features and Operation

• Main Switch (#13)

Turn main switch (#13) to position “|” (on), in order to begin operation. The main switch can also
be used as an EMERGENCY SWITCH, which stops the machine immediately.

• Safety lock with key (#7)

The key can be removed to prevent unauthorized use. To activate the machine, turn the key 45º to
the right.

• Re-set button (#14)

Before the knife can be activated on models IDEAL 4850, IDEAL 5250 and IDEAL 6550, the re­set button has to be pressed to re-establish the “ready to cut” status of the machine. The yellow
pilot light in the viewing window (#10) illuminates and indicates that the machine is ready to cut.
The models IDEAL 4850-90 and IDEAL 6550-90 do not have a re-set button.

• Two-hand operation

Only by pressing the push button switches (#5 and #15) simultaneously (within half a second), can
a cut, with automatic clamping operation, be executed. Keep push buttons depressed until the
knife has reached its lowest position. The paper pile will now have been cut through. As soon as
the push buttons have been release, first the knife and then the paper clamp, return automatically
to their home positions.

• Automatic clamping

When a cut is executed using push buttons (#5 and #15), the paper clamp is also automatically
activated.

Alternatively the clamp can be used independently of the knife by simultaneously pushing push
button switches (#6 and #15). Then by subsequently pushing buttons (#5 and #15), the cut is
executed separately. Then this is completed, both the knife (#20) and the clamp (#17) return
automatically to their home positions.
